lazy-nvim-starter VS neovim

I needed a way to debug why this is happening on my Neovim configuration. I am using a stripped down version of https://github.com/frans-johansson/lazy-nvim-starter to get started. I added barbar.nvim to improve the tab view. Right now whenever I search for files, live_grep in telescope/ jump files using ctags neovim seems to always create new buffers while opening these files instead of opening in the same window. I searched my configuration and do not see any remaps which do this. I understand that is a popular remap within telescope to open a new tab but I verified that by just doing neovim opens a new tab. Any help will be appreciated!

I didn't understand all the guides and tutorials online either but I ended up with this which helped me understand all the things much better and I based my nvim config from here :)

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
